Portable information device

Abstract

A portable information device includes a first support plate fixed to a first chassis member; a second support plate fixed to a second chassis member and provided adjacent to the first support plate; a display whose rear surface is supported by a front surface of the first support plate and the second support plate; and an adhesive member configured to fix the front surface of the first support plate and the second support plate and the rear surface of the display. The adhesive member has a first adhesive layer adhered to the rear surface of the display; and a second adhesive layer adhered to a part of the front surface of the first support plate and the second support plate and including a non-adhesive portion provided in at least a range overlapping with a bending region.

The invention claimed is: 
     
       1. A portable information device, comprising:
 a first chassis member; 
 a second chassis member rotatably joined with the first chassis member; 
 a first support plate fixed to the first chassis member; 
 a second support plate fixed to the second chassis member and is adjacent to the first support plate; 
 a display having a rear surface supported by a front surface of the first support plate and the second support plate, and having a bending region to be bent in accordance with relative rotation of the first chassis member and the second chassis member; and 
 an adhesive member configured to fix the front surface of the first support plate and the second support plate and the rear surface of the display by adherence, 
 wherein the adhesive member has: 
 a first adhesive layer adhered to the rear surface of the display; and 
 a second adhesive layer adhered to a part of the front surface of the first support plate and the second support plate and including a non-adhesive portion in at least an area overlapping with the bending region; 
 wherein: the non-adhesive portion is configured so that a film-like member having no adhesive layer on at least one surface is in a recessed portion formed in the second adhesive layer, and the at least one surface of the film-like member is in an abutting configuration with the first support plate and the second support plate when portable information device is in planner configuration. 
 
     
     
       2. The portable information device according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 the non-adhesive portion is configured so that a film-like member having no adhesive layer on at least one surface is fixed to a part of a front surface of the second adhesive layer, and the one surface of the film-like member faces the first support plate and the second support plate. 
 
     
     
       3. The portable information device according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 the adhesive member has a base material, the first adhesive layer is on a first surface of the base material, and the second adhesive layer is on a second surface of the base material. 
 
     
     
       4. The portable information device according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 the adhesive member has a base material, the first adhesive layer is on a first surface of the base material, and the second adhesive layer is on a second surface of the base material, and 
 the non-adhesive portion is configured so that a part of the second adhesive layer is cut off to expose the base material.
